Rescued this male Blanding's Turtle from the middle of the road a few months ago. Thought it was about time to post some pics. On a side note, someone had pointed out that this was an endangered species when I found it and keeping such species is illegal in my home state. That information is...

I was asking a Home Depot co-worker from the garden department if there were any, besides a botanist, others that knew anything about plants, as opposed to lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc... I was told that there is a new hire that does. So I found the new hire and asked her if she knew anything...

Hello friends, I have been contemplating this for a long time. Based on the success of the albino capensis "SASE" thread, I have decided to "beta" test a seed bank based on the concept. I need you guys to check it out. Tell me what you think! I have one major problem. As in the SASE, I get a...

Hi guys, I'll apologize in advance for the long post I'm not sure how much you know about the history of Taiwan, but there is a movie about to be released that depicts a very dark period of Taiwanese history that is still somewhat taboo in Taiwan and unknown elsewhere. Called Formosa Betrayed...

Hey everyone! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks, so it's probably about time to introduce myself =P I usually go by Kuro, but since this is a CP forum, I took my screen name from my sundew, Pandora. Pandora was a cape sundew I had last year, my first and only sundew plant. Unfortunately, I...

FINALLY!! After 6 months of being in the Middle East i get to leave for home in a few days!! I'm actually kinda scared because to be honest I've become kinda institutionalized. I know I'm gonna be scared to go to the mall or any store without large open spaces. The road will make me nervous...

So, I'm in college right now and it's time for me to settle on a major and career. However, growing carnivorous plants is my passion in life, and people always say to find a career that you want to do. So, what careers can I do with carnivorous plants?

I could use more computing power for making bigger Midi music orchestrations so here's an article about a Star Trek type setup: The Data-Crunching Powerhouse Behind ‘Avatar’ It takes a lot of data center horsepower to create the stunning visual effects behind blockbuster movies such as...

I was out on a walk today, and discovered that a hydroponics store had opened near where I live, and discovered to my joy that they carry Maxsea 16-16-16, which a lot of people seem to be investigating for the purpose of fertilizing their neps. Now, I have a small nep, so I picked a jug of the...

So, name one, just one, nep you'd like to grow but can't. I can provide highland temps fairly easily, but lowland conditions I cannot. So that makes true lowlanders a no go for me. Honestly, I don't like many lowlanders, so I don't mind much. But, their is one lowlander I'd love to have ...

Someone needs to see the bigger picture... I am highly disappointed, my post is deleted for indicating a major issue and flaw on this site... Against Newbe's ... Someone has thought about this :censor: at all... Noddy

I ordered an Orchid which was infested with mealybugs. Needless to say, I am very upset with the vendor. I've had my Ceph Hummer's Giant sitting right next to it over the past couple of weeks and noticed for the first time last night that I had a major bug problem, thanks to that orchid. I...

This year’s Pine Barrens trip, like all the other years was a great success. It was fun meeting up with other growers I have not seen in some time. The weather was perfect during the days. There was a major thunder storm that hit Saturday night directly overhead the camping area and most likely...

In May 2009 I begin work on my undergraduate thesis project. I chose to focus on Drosophyllum lusitanicum. My attention was first brought to this plant reading The Savage Garden by D' Amato. In this book and other literature I read about the difficulty of propagating this species. As a new...
